Notifications

This app provides a backend and frontend for the notification API available in Nextcloud. The API is used by other apps to notify users in the web UI and sync clients about various things. Some examples are:

• 📬 Federated file sharing: You received a new remote share
• 📑 Comments: Another user mentioned you in a comment on a file
• 🚢 Update notification: Available update for an app or nextcloud itself
• 📣 Announcement center: An announcement was posted by an admin
